No. Reverse/delete that mess.

Are you using the 'Process Payment' feature?

Step 1. Click Process Payment, choose the vendor, select Invoice B, 
enter the total payment amount, select the source account, set the date 
and a note if any, then commit the payment. This will pay off Invoice B 
entirely and leave an over payment not attached to anything. (the excess 
is *not* applied to Invoice B so you can't issue a credit against it. 
The excess is simply 'extra'.)


Step 2. Click Process Payment again, choose the vendor, but this time, 
select the over-payment and Invoice A in the list. Set the date as 
appropriate - do not change the amount or anything else. Commit the payment


Now your single payment has been applied to both invoices.

Adrien

just missing it.


What I ended up doing was processing a "Refund" of the overpayment of 
Invoice B, and applying that to a new asset account I named, "Vendor 
Credits." Then, I turned around and entered a payment of that credit 
amount to apply to the first 25% payment on Invoice A. Kind of clumsy, 
but at least you should be able to follow it at tax time.

It is possible dating may play a role if A is indeed earlier than B, but
I'm not certain.

If that is the case, then you'll have to make a payment for the full
amount as planned (1/4*A+B) but only choose Invoice B to apply it to.
This will leave an unlinked over/pre-payment attached to that Vendor for
the difference.

Then Process another payment, this time, selecting the remainder not
applied originally, to Invoice A.

I think it should remain as a single transaction in the register, but
please do report back how it turns out.

Adrien

I'm fairly new to using the Accounts Payable function. I have a vendor
which is owed two invoices, one larger one which she has agreed to
accept four monthly payments on plus one smaller invoice which I wanted
to pay up front right now. I made a payment for 1/4*A + B, but when I
attempted to "assign as payment" it only applied it to a portion of the
larger invoice A. What's the proper technique for dealing with this kind
of situation going forward?
